This Company is established to carry out, on an impor tant scale, the manufacture of steel under Bessemer's or other patents, to construct steel ordnance, manufacture steel shot and shell, draw steel wire, manufacture and erect steam engines, boilers, and all kinds of machinery and im plements for mining, manufacturing, and agricultural pur poses, and to carry on the business of engineers and mill wrights, ac Tavistock, in the county of Devon. The Directors have entered into an agreement for the purchase, on terms favourable for the Company, of the pre raises, machinery, plant, stock in trade, patent rights and goodwill of the business of Messrs. Gill and Company, Engineers and Iron-founders, of Tavistock, whose works have been successfully carried on for the last sixty years, and who have long since established a reputation for the excellence of their manufacture of steam engines and boilers, mi chains, ham mere d iron, edge tools, and every description of ning and other machinery, The property consists of about thirteen acres of land, heldte Portable under a long l ease from the Duke of Bedford, and Comprises, besides th e ground devoted to the works, a com for mansion With plantations and grounds, a house for tho mankr,er, and cottages and gardens for the workmen, all of which are let at remunerative rentals. There is also never -failing water-power, maintained at the cost of the Duke of Bedford, sufficient to carry on all the operations of the 'company, and by means of which great economy and a P'.'oportionate increase of profit is secured. The property and business thus purchased include several valuable patent rights and contracts ; amongst others a very advantageous contract for the extensive manufacture of Crease's Pneumatic Tunnelling Engines, which are destined to effect a complete revolution in the scientific working of mines; also a licence on favourable terms to manufacture the Blakely guns, for which profitable contracts can be im mediately obtained. Other very important contracts, which the board consider will alone produce a good dividend to the shareholders, have been provisionally secured, and will be completed as soon as the Company is in a position to inn iertake them. The Directors only consider it necessary to allude to the large profits realised by the manufacture of steel (which at the present cost of its manufacture ultimately take the place of iron in most instances), and the remunerative business of manufacturing steel ordnance, shot, and shell, for foreign G overnments, to satisfy the shareholders that handsome dividends will be realised. The premises are easily accessible by canal from Ply mouth Sound, and by railway from all other parts of the kingdom, and being situated in the midst of a prosperous and constantly increasing mining district, a large amount of business with mines can be ensured. The Company will take possession of the works on the 30th of April, 1864, and are to be entitled to the profits of Messrs. Gill and Co,'s business since the 30th of September, 1863. as well as the benefit of all contracts entered into since that date. No promotion money whatever will be aid. Of the fi rst issue of 6,000 shares, nearly one-ha p lf have been subscribed for, and the remainder are now offered to the public. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association can be inspected at the offices of the Company, and of the Solicitors, 43, Chancery-lane, and 77, Gresham House, Old Broad -street. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained at the Offices of the Company ; of the Bankers to the Company, in London and Tavistock; of the Brokers; and of the Solicitors.

" IT'S ME" A correspondent of the Reader, signing himself A, J, Ellis, and dating his communication from Colney Hatch (Park), April 30, 1864, 'writes : "In reference to your remarks on it's me in your notice of Dean Alford's 'Plea for the Queen's Eng.. lish,'l consider that the phrase it is I is a modernism, or rather a grammaticism--that is, it was never in popular use, but was introduced solely on some grammatical hypothesis as to having the same case before and after the verb is. It does not appear to have been consonant with the feelings of Teutonic tribes to use the nominative of the personal pro nouns as a predicate. To them—and therefore to English people—it is lis just as strange as est ego EOTI Ey( would be to Latin or Greek. These last languages require ego sum, c'-ya) eiµc (Matt. xiv. 27; Mark vi. 50; John vi. 20). The predicate was here simply omitted. In Goth'c we have precisely the same construction, ik ins (John vi. 20). The English Wycliffite translations both give 1 am. But the Anglo-Saxon version, like the modern German, is not content with leaving the predicate unexpressed, and we find is hit eons ; High German, ich bin es'; literally, lam it ; namely, that which you see. The Heliand paraphrase is very explicit (Schme!ler's ed., p. 90, line 2), 'lk biuin that barn codes' (' I am the Son of God'). The Welsh and Gaelic try to be emphatic, the first saying myfi ydyto (q. d. myself am), and the second, is raise a to ann (q. d. it's myself that's living). But of course we do not look to these languages as a guide to English. The Danish is very peculiar and important on account of its intimate relation with English. As in Eng. lish, the dative and accusative cases of the personal pronouns now coincide in Danish, Jeg, 2111 . g (I, me); Du, dig (thou, thee; Han, ham (he, him). We find the following rule laid down in Tobiesen's Danische Sprachlehre (Sternhagen's ed., 1828, p. 215) :—` After the impersonal verbs, det er and det blicer (it is), the personal pronouns jeg, du, han are not used in the nominative, hut in the dative, as det er mig der har gjort det (it's me that did it) ; del er Dig, sons har veret master derfor (it's thee who was its master) ; det bliver ham sons vi rule tale mod (4's him that we wish to speak with [where also the construction of the relative and preposition is Eng lish] ; and similarly in the plural : deter os, jar, dem (it's us, yon, them): This is perfectly explicit, and shows the same construction as the English ; but in the Testament the wish to be uncolloquial has apparently forced the translator to depart from the usual custom when the words are given to Jesus, but he returns to it when they are echoed by Peter (Matt. xiv. 27, 28). Jesus—sagde :—det er jeg—men Peder—sagde Ilerre, dersom det cr dig, ba byd mig," &c. (" Jesus said, It is I ; but Peter said, Lord if it is thee, bid me,' &c.) The conclu sion seems to be that it's me is good English, and it's lis a mistaken purism. We hAve now, I think, come to regard the objective form of the personal pronoun as a predaatire form, and this will justify that's him., although the Dames will say denne er Han' (that's he). Wo are therefore in the same condition as the French with their c' est moi though wo have not quite, reached their n'osait pas' (hi as didn't dnre)." A WAGER AT WHIST.—I tell the story as nearly as I can as he related it to me. " I used to play a good deal with Rechberg," said ho, "and took pleasure in worrying him, for he was a great purist in his play, and was outraged with anything that could not be sustained by an authority. In fact, each game was followed by a discus sion of full half an hour, to the intense mortification of the other players, though very amusing to me, and offering me large opportunity to irritate and plague the Austrian, One evening, after a number of these discussions, in which Rechberg had displayed an even unusual warmth and irri tability, I found myself opposed to him in a game, the in terest of which had drawn around us a large assembly of spectators—what the French designate as le gale'rie. To wards the conclusion of the game it was my turn to lead, and I played a card which so astounded the Austrian minister, that he laid down his cards upon the table and stared fixedly at me, In all my experience of whist,' said he, deliberately, I never saw the equal of that.' Of what ?' asked I, ' Of the card you have just played,' rejoined. he, It is not merely that such play violates every principle of the game, but it acually stultifies all your own combina tions.' I think differently, count,' said I, ' I maintain that is good play, and I abide by it.' Let us decide it by a wager, said he, 'ln what way ?" Thus :We shall leave the question to the galerie. You shall allege what yon deem to be the reasons for your play, and they shall decide if they accept them as valid,' agree. What will you bet?' Ten napoleons—twenty, fifty, five hundred if you like!' cried he warmly. I shall say ten. You don't like losing, and I don't want to punish you too heavily.' ' There is the jury, sir,' said he haughtily ; ' make your case.' The wager is this,' said I, that, to win, I shall satisfy these gentlemen that for the card I played I had a sufficient and good reason. Yes. My reason was this, then—l looked into your hand I' I pocketed his ten napo leons, but they were the last I won of him. Indeed it took a month before ho got over the shock. —Blackwood 's .21Iaga:ine for May. THAMES CONSERVANCY.—The following is the general report of the proceedings of the conservator s of the river Thames, appointed by and under the powers of the Thames Conservancy Act, 1857, from the let day of January, 1863, to the 31st day of December, 1863. The conservators of the riv er Th ames have, d ur i n g the year ended December 31, 1863, exercised the powers vested in them by a careful supervision over the river within the limits of their jurisdiction, The conservators have carried on dredging operations for the 'improvement of the river as far as the m eans a t th e i r di sposa l have admitted. Th ey have commenced the removal of a shoa l situa ted nearly i n mid-stream off Dagenham, the s urface of whi c h consists grave erde o n f ou r g o h ck t . , justify th e appellation it has commonly chiefly of conglomerate l receivedbard enough to justify the appellation it has commO&Y rece Consider able progress h a s a lso been m a de in the removal of a shoal o ff Blackwell, known as the 01 Gun Shoa l ,aracter—viz h ard the m a t erial of which ,4 similar ch it is composed beingcon difficult to glomerate, and very remove. The powerful dredging machine whi ch in their lest annual report the con servators described as being in course of construction, to enable t h em to e xecute the dredging required by the Thames Embankment Act has been completed. In their last annual report to parliament the conservators described the legal difficulties they had met with in carrying into effect the i m provement of the Steamboat landings near London-bridge —those difficulties having been overcome, the pier at Old Swan Stairs was erected in the early part of the year, and it has been found to be a great public convenience. A very numerously signed application having been received from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Southwark, and persons carrying on business at Bankside, requesting the conservators to place a steamboat pier in that locality, they transferred thither the Blackfriars pier, which, in conse quence of the areal( n of the two new bridges, had to be removed. The Blackfriars pier it is proposed shall be re placed when practicable. The moorings alluded to in last year's repo r t as b e i ng a b ou t t o b e laid down in Gravesend Reach for troop and emigrant ships have been completed to the number of four, and they have been found so convenient that the conservators have determined to extend them by piecing four mare, an d they have accordingly p rov id e d th e necessary gear for the purpose. The repairs and renewals required from tim e to time for all the o th er moor i ng s have been effected so as to preserve them in the greatest possible s tate of efficiency. The banks, lecke, weirs, and towing paths in the western part of the district within the jurisdiction of the conservators have been maintained, and, Her Majesty wore asitailar dress End cap to those she wore at the previous reception, but the latter was ornamented with pearls instead of diamonds. Her Majesty also wore a necklace of four rows of large pearls, a miniature of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort set in diamonds as a brooch, the blue ribbon and badge of the Garter, and the badges of the Victoria ana Albert Order and of the Order of Queen Louise of Prussia. Her Royal Highness the Princess of *Wales wore a b;qck silk dress trimmed with bouffants of crape, and jet ornaments. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales wore the uniform of a general dicer, with the Orders of the Garter and the Star of India. Her Majesty's Body Guard of the Hon.

The weather to-day, though there was a strongish and cool breeze, was remarkably favourable for the comfort of visitors to the course, and for a large attendance. The latter, however, was not so numerous as on Tuesday. Greatly in contrast with the inactivity at the rooms on the previous evening, there was on Tuesday night some spirited specula tion on the Derby, and during the short period betting went on more money was invested on the Surrey event than has occurred for several days past. General Peel, against whom there were several offers, appeared to be on the decline until the arrival of Mr. Steel, who picked up seven fifties, which bet led to an offer on the part of "Major" Booth of six "monkeys." This was also greedily snapped up by the Sheffielder, and after backing the animal at 3,000 to 500, he accepted 600 to 100, and a few minor bets at the same ratio of odds. Several of the outside division were backed for small sums, and Scottish Chief was supported for £lOO at 8 to 1. Cambuscan, at a point in advance of these,odds would have been freely backed, and Ely would haN; been invested upon for considerable sums at 25 to 1, but not more than 2G to 1 was obtainable. Baragah and Forager were not much in request, though 40's to 1 would have been taken to money about Lord St. Vincent's horse. Several cross beta were made, Prince Arthur and Coastguard being backed against eanh other for £2OO in their places—the best of one, two, or three. Paris was also favoured with support for a place. The racing commenced to. day at one o'clock with the Eglinton Stakes, which brought out three runners, and the eagerness with which "the fielders" bet anti cipated the position which the favourite Benanoar ob tained. For the Flying Dutchman's Handicap there were 9 runners, Little Stag, who on dit had been sold to Lord St. Vincent for £3OOO, being the favourite. At one time he was backed against the field, but at the close 6 to 5 agst him were the current odds. Lytham, the Monk, and My Mary were the next in demand. The race was preceded by a false start, after which Mr. Marshall got them well away together, with the exception of Goldylocks and Newmarket; but these two soon joined the rest. For a mile they ran upon pretty equal terms, but afterwards Little Stag and The Monk care away, and the two ran a close race to the half distance, wher e they separated, and The Monk had the best to the finish, and won by half a length. The Tyro Stakes were contested by the three entered, and resulted in the victory of Jig, who realised 90 guineas to the fund. The Consolation Scramble produced a field of five of the seven entered, the absentees being Loafer and Newchursh. Speculation thereon was confined principally to Kapunda and Theobalda, the latter of which, from the 'Whitewall stable, securing the first vic tory of the meeting for the Great Northern establishment. The Londesborough Cup brought 14 runners to the post, and, consequent on The Monk's easy victory, Amazonian was made a great favourite; but the recent excellent pub. lie form of East Lancashire proved the more truthful . cr it er ion to the sel ec ti on of the winner, East Lancashire tin easily.

They ran thus until half way round the bend, where Goldy.. locks and Newmarket dropped from the front, and Little Stag took second place, and Tho Monk drew up to the leaders. Lytham hung 'out signals of distress half a mile from home, whereupon Little Stag, with The Monk on his right, were left in front, and the two came on in close com pany, and an exciting race ensued with the two to the dis tance, where, however, The Monk obtained an advantage, which he maintained, and won by half a length. A dozen lengths separated the second and third, and a similar dis.. Lance divided Donnybrook and Merry Maid ; My Mary Lytham, and Newmarket passed the post at scattered in tervals in the order named.

It provides that no suit shall be brought "in any court" for a money demand not exceeding £2O, unless within one year after some part of it became payable, reckoning no time during which the debtor was absent from England; and (subject to the same reckoning no process shall issue on judgments of any Court for a sum not exceeding 420 (on a money demand), unless within a year from their date, or from the last pay ment becoming due, or being made, or two years in case of fraudulent conduct on the part of the debtor. The power of a County Court to commit to prison on a judgment for a sum not exceeding £2O is to cease except as now to be men tioned. If on the hearing of a judgment summons it appears that the debtor has not any means or reasonable expectation o; being able to pay any part of his debts, the judge may deolirke to make any order; but if it appear otherwise, the judge is 1,1 order him to deliver to the registrar a statement of his debts ate d assets, and attend to be examined, notice to be given to the e l editors and protection granted meantime; and if the debts owing by the debtor turn out to exceed £5O, or if he is found to poeseK 3 property which cannot be taken under any process of a County Court, the Court may ad judge him a bankrupt. The Com t may order his property to be seized and sold, taking householc; goods and wearing aps parel beyond the value of £4, and too:s beyond £3. Upon examination of the judgment debtor and c onsideration of all the circumstances (or in his absence at the \Jim° appointed), the Court is to order him, unles s h e i s adjudge, -1 a bankrupt, to pay into court such sum as it shall think propser by in stalments for division among the creditors, and a copy of the order is to be sent to his employer, who is to stoi,' the instalment out of his wages. If he has obtained credit by false pretences, or been guilty of fraud or breach of trust, or wilfully contracted a debt without reasonable expecta tion of being able to pay it, or disposed of or concealed pro perty with intent to defraud his creditors, or since the judg ment wilfully wasted his income by unjustifiable extrava gance, the judge may commit him to prison ae a misdemean ant for not more than two months ; but when discharged he is not to be liable to any other imprisonment under this act. Upon payment of the last instalment ordered of the Court he is to receive a certificate discharging him from his debts. The bill further provides that no action shall be brought to recover any debt for ale or beer consumed on the premises where sold or supplied. If an action is brought in a superior court for a debt not exceeding £2O, it may be removed into tho County Court on the application of the defendant ; or the defendant may within eight days pay the debt without any costs; or, if he suffer judgment by default, the plaintiff shall recover no costs ; nor if the plaintiff obtains a verdict, unless the Judge certifies. Actions brought in a superior. court for malicious prosecuten, illegal arrest or distress' assault, false imprisonment, seduction, and any other action of tort, may if a judge shai2 think fit, be removed into the County Court (unless the pi t zintiff gives security for costs), on an affidavit that the plaintiff has no visible means of paying costs. We come now to the proposed grant of equitable jurisdiction to the County Courts. Every suit that may now be prosecuted in Chancery may hereafter be brought in the County Courts if such suit falls within the following rules :—The demand must not exceed £lOO, unless it b e a dLstributive share of property; the whole property sought to be distributed or administered in any suit must not exceed £500; if land is sought to be recovered or sold, it must not exceed t; , e value of £lO a year; if mortgaged property is sought to b e fore-closed or sold, the mortgage must not exceed £3OO ; if a i. , artnership is to be dissolved or wound up, the property must nOt exceed £5OO ; where the suit is for specific performance or Oncelling of an arrange ment for sale of property, its value mpst not exceed £3OO. Lastly, no injunction is to be granted by a County Court ; nor any suit entertained involving a question concening the sanity of a testator. There is to be a right of appera to the Court of Chancery against the decision of the judge on any matter of law or equity, or on the admission or reject.' tion of evidence. Salaries to be increased out of the fees to be taken for all this additional business, but the salary of the judge is not to exceed £1,600 a year. HYDROPHOBIA IN LIVERPOOL,—Another death from hydrophobia occurred in Liverpool on Tuesday, the victim being a boy named Samuel Leech, who was bitten in the lip about a month ago by a shepherd's dog, belonging to a farmer living at West Derby, near Liverpool, THE RUSSIAN NAVY.—A largo armour-plated steam ram, of between 3,000 and 4,000 tons, built by an English firm, Messrs. Charles Mitchell and :Jo., of Low Walker, on the Tyne, will be launched from the Go vernment dockyard, St. Petersburg, this month, for the Russian Government. She has been built by English workmen sent out from this ccuntry, and her armour-plates have also been manufactured in England.

On the fact being made known on Monday that the masters' association had agreed to open the two collieries on strike to all men who wished to go in on the old terms, a meeting was held at Hoyle Mill the same evening, when the men wore enjoined to stand firm, as the union would support them until the advance asked was conceded. A resolution pledging the meeting to stand out until the men received the 10 per cent. was unanimously agreed to. On Tuesday evening a good deal of excitement was created in Barnsley by the arrival in the centre of the town of some hundreds of colliers, with a cart, pulled by men, containing a number of the Oaks workmen, with printed notices on their hats. It appeared that the men belonging to that colliery had re• ceived notice to quit the houses occupied by them under the the proprietors of the colliery that afternoon.
